Media Rights and Responsibilities

The Glass Blown Open event is ran and owned by Dynamic Discs and is held on public land. As a participant or member of the media, you must be aware of your rights and responsibilities.

Personal vs. Professional Use

At the Glass Blown Open, you don’t have to be getting paid to be considered a Pro. Professional Media is used to describe just about any media project that is intended for public distribution.

Personal Use Media:

Players and spectators are welcome to use photos, videos, and audio recordings obtained at the Glass Blown Open for their personal use, this includes:

Sharing with your friends and personal social media networks.

Displaying on personal websites as long as the websites do not sell any products or services.

Posting to your personal accounts on photo-sharing sites such as Flickr, Instagram, YouTube, and Tumblr—as long as the posts aren’t commercial in any manner and the accounts aren’t used for purposeful promotion. You may not directly monetize any media through paywalls or advertisements.

Professional Use Media

If you wish to use any photo, video, or audio obtained at the event for any non-personal use you must apply for a Professional Use Media for the Glass Blown Open. We require this registration process to protect the interests of Glass Blown Open and any Professional that has media rights agreement in place with Dynamic Discs and the Glass Blown Open.

Publishing photos in a printed or online book, magazine, or newspaper.

Using footage in a professional quality video.

Displaying images on a non-personal website or in a gallery show.
